Ticks Pose Multiple Health Threats

Once confined to a small region in the Northeast, Lyme disease
has spread to most regions of the country and is increasing as a
national health issue. However, this isn't the only disease that ticks
can spread.

Different species of ticks can carry the bacteria that cause
Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Babeiosis and the recently discovered
Heartland virus.

These diseases can cause lasting physical and mental damage if
not diagnosed, but they are also highly preventable with
proper caution. Checking clothes and the body for ticks after
spending time outdoors significantly reduces the likelihood of
contracting a tick-borne disease.
